To give an idea, I have extended Pier with structures
for
generating diagrams with Graphviz and lists of items matching a
query. I have also developed Pier with visitor objects for
outputting the content of a Pier instance as a collection of
static files.
That sounds very interesting? Is it proprietary or do you have an
URL so that other people could use your extensions as well? I've
started looking at Pier's code, and unfortunately, I'd have
to say it's not the clearest.
Yes, it is not very easy to understand how it works but on the
other hand it is quite easy to extend. I still have some troubles when I want to extend Pier
with complex
structures. For example, I have a structure to represent a project
with its history and its stakeholders. It requires a lot of
subcommands and subviews and it feels a bit clunky. I am not sure I
am making a good use of Magritte reports.
I imagine. We have to learn how the design scales.
